Why Crow didn't sign
The Nats could not promise that he would be able to get popcorn without waiting in line for 30 minutes. :)
Seriously though, good riddance. The last thing this team needs is every draft pick bending us over a barrel. We went above slot for many players in order to restock the farm system last year, but you don't let some unproven guy make crazy demands and get away with them. Maybe they should not have drafted Crow at all, but I am glad they didn't sign him at his price. Sure he might be a nice pitcher someday, but it's not like the Nats are one player away from respectability.
The dual nature of this blog didn't dawn on me until recently, but man I miss the excitement of Redskins games at RFK. Sort of like the Phone Booth was at the end of last year, as the best run franchise(scary isn't it) in DC made their run to a South East Division Championship.

Ugh
Well, hats of to the gwitch-ster for resurrecting this nightmare. I thought it could die a slow, painless death much like the gNats. I'm with El Rey...34 years for this? No baseball is better than this. The freaking Royals are better than the ex-Expos. I just want it all to end and for the Danny to rip down RFK and replace it with a 125,000 retractable dome stadium visible from space.
Jason Taylor anyone?
What's made me most bitter is that the baseball team was going to be my salvation and allow me to forever walk away from the NFL franchise I grew up loving. That is before the Danny and his minion The vinny came in and destroyed it. But now, I have no choice. I have to fight against the dying of the light because my 9 year old daughter thinks Tom Brady's great and has announced the Patriots to be her favorite team. At least it's not Eli and the Giants...yet. Who am I kidding? Given the choice between her room and a cardboard box on Constitution Ave, I'm sure she'd take her room.

Worst Game Ever
I have never left a game so quickly. It was embarrassing. I didn't even get a chance to see how long the food lines were. Beer lines were short prior to the game though. :)
Oh, and the fireworks during the National Anthem have to stop. They scared my date so much that she jumped. Funny? Yes. But seriously, stop the explosions during the Anthem.
